FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an overall algorithm provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, including:
step 301: each sensor data acquisition and decoding are used for generating an optimal smooth track and acquiring coordinate information of LiDAR data;
firstly, acquiring original GPS data (the current position under an earth coordinate system) and inertial navigation data (navigation parameters such as carrier gesture) and performing calculation by adopting a Kalman filtering algorithm in a tight coupling mode to generate an optimal smooth track, acquiring LiDAR original data by reading network port data flow, analyzing the data structure of the original data, performing calculation and interpolation, and obtaining three-dimensional information under the LiDAR coordinate system. That is, the hardware device has a GNSS/INS integrated navigation positioning module, the satellite positioning navigation system obtains the current position under the earth coordinate system, while the inertial directional positioning navigation system provides navigation parameters such as carrier gesture through the internal inertial device (gyro, accelerometer), records the original data of the base station and the mobile station in the integrated positioning navigation system, and adopts PPK technology to complement the two data, correct the deviation, and calculate and synthesize SBET (Smoothed BestEstimate Trajectory, best smooth track) data. In the aspect of LiDAR sensor data, original data are captured through network ports, the data are divided into data packets and positioning packets, the data packets comprise distance, angle and time stamp information, three-dimensional coordinate information and accurate time stamps can be restored through resolving and interpolation, GPRMC sentences sent to LiDAR by an inertial navigation module through PPS pulse signals are recorded in the positioning packets, and time information and position information are recorded.
Wherein, each sensor refers to GNSS, INS and LiDAR equipment.
Step 302: time synchronization alignment for time unification and calibration of multiple sensors;
and the LiDAR device is connected with the LiDAR device through inertial navigation, GPRMC statement is output, the LiDAR device captures PPS pulse signals, the GPRMC statement provides UTC time provided by the inertial navigation device, the LiDAR device records local time at any time, the two times are stored in a locating packet of LiDAR data, and the local time and the UTC time provided by the PPS signals can be aligned and synchronized through resolving the locating packet data. That is, the data collected by the LiDAR equipment and the data output by inertial navigation can be synchronously aligned one by one in time. The time alignment problem in multi-sensor data fusion is one of the key issues to be addressed by data fusion systems. To ensure the accuracy of the coordinate conversion of the multisensor data, the data must be time aligned before fusion of the data can take place. Otherwise, misaligned data may result in poorer fusion performance than when using one of the sensor data alone. The GPS receiver generates PPS (Pulse Per Second) Pulse signal and NMEA $GPRMC message, the GPRMC message provides UTC time, and the LiDAR sensor sets its own time stamp to microseconds of which each UTC time exceeds one hour, and by analyzing two corresponding times of the GPRMC statement, each data point in the LiDAR data packet corresponds to the last UTC time, so that alignment with SBET (smooth best estimate path) data can be performed.
Step 303: data interpolation for alignment of different frequencies of the multi-sensor data;
and the data interpolation step is to interpolate the data in the optimal smooth track by adopting a cubic spline interpolation algorithm, the interpolated data is changed into infinite continuous data from the prior finite discrete point data, and then the frequency of the corresponding LiDAR data is used for sampling the interpolated data so as to obtain unification and correspondence in frequency. That is, since the frequencies of the sensor data are different, the frequency of the inertial navigation data is 200HZ at the maximum, the data sampling frequency of the GNSS (global navigation satellite system) is 100HZ at the maximum, and the frequency of the LiDAR data may exceed 200KHZ, so in order to obtain the position and posture information of each LiDAR, interpolation of the data is required for the SBET result of the combined GNSS/IMU navigation output.
There are several methods of interpolation, nearest interpolation, linear interpolation, bilinear quadratic interpolation, cubic spline interpolation. The algorithm of the embodiment of the invention adopts cubic spline interpolation.
The cubic spline interpolation (Cubic Spline Interpolation) essentially belongs to a piecewise polynomial smooth interpolation, the basic idea being that a low order polynomial is approximated within each cell made up of two adjacent nodes,and the junction at each junction is guaranteed to be smooth (i.e., derivative continuous). Suppose that in [ a, b ]]There are n+1 data in the interval, assuming at t i The data at time is f (t) =y i Then there is a cubic spline interpolation function s (x) that satisfies the following condition:
(1)s(t i )=y i
(2) s (t) in each inter-cell [ t ] i ,t i+1 ]Is a cubic polynomial;
(3) s (t) has a second continuous derivative over [ a, b ].
The formula of the cubic spline interpolation function s (t) can be obtained by the least square and Hermite interpolation formula:
Figure BDA0001929165740000101
wherein m is i =s'(t i )。
The finishing method can obtain: in interval t i ≤t≤t i+1 Among these are the following equations:
s(t)=a i +b i (x-x i )+c i (x-x i ) 2 +d i (x-x i ) 3
wherein:
h i =t i+1 -t i
a i =y i

Figure BDA0001929165740000103
Figure BDA0001929165740000104
after the cubic spline interpolation fitting, a smooth curve can be obtained, a limited point is changed into an infinite point, an effective value is available at any time in the interval range of the curve, the curve is sampled and aligned according to the time of the synchronized LiDAR data, and therefore each LiDAR data also has one-to-one corresponding track data, and fusion alignment can be carried out.
As shown in fig. 4, there are position and attitude angle data, wherein the straight broken line part in each data is the original data, the data is not subjected to cubic spline interpolation, and the smooth curve part is the data subjected to cubic spline interpolation, so that obvious improvement can be seen.
Step 304: the space synchronization is used for converting a coordinate system and restoring to a geodetic coordinate system;
the step of space synchronization is to perform a plurality of coordinate system conversions, convert the coordinate system from a relative LiDAR coordinate system to an inertial navigation coordinate system, then convert the coordinate system to a local north east ground coordinate system, then convert the coordinate system to a geocentric earth fixed (ECEF) coordinate system, then convert the coordinate system to a WGS-84 coordinate system, and finally project the coordinate system to a UTM geodetic coordinate system, thereby realizing the accurate reconstruction of the absolute position required by mapping.
Fig. 5 is an overall flowchart of coordinate system conversion performed by the whole spatial synchronization provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, to perform multiple conversions, from a point to be measured to a LiDAR coordinate system, to an IMU (Inertial measurement unit ) coordinate system, to a local northeast coordinate system, to an ECEF (Earth-Centered, earth-Fixed) coordinate system of the Earth, and further to a WGS84 (World Geodetic System-1984 Coordinate System) coordinate system, and finally mapped to a UTM (universal transverse mercartorgrid system, universal transverse ink-card grid system) coordinate system.
Step 501: the LiDAR coordinate system obtains the three-dimensional coordinate of the to-be-measured point by resolving LiDAR data.
Step 502: conversion from LiDAR to IMU, i.e. inertial navigation, assuming LiDAR to be S, IMU to be b, three angles of placement of LiDAR to IMU to be pitch angle θ x Roll angle theta y Bias ofAngle of flight theta z Three lever arm values a b Is [ a ] L ,b L ,c L ] T

Assuming that the central coordinate system of the IMU is a b system, the local NED coordinate system is an l system, and the IMU is converted into an attitude angle of rotation of the l system around respective axes: roll angle roll about X-axis, pitch about Y-axis, yaw about Z-axis, let

The Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) coordinate system is abbreviated as Earth-Centered coordinate system, which is a kind of Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed coordinate system (also called Earth coordinate system) with Earth center as origin, and is a kind of cartesian coordinate system. The origin O (0, 0) is the earth centroid, the z axis and the ground axis are parallel to point to the north pole, the x axis points to the intersection point of the original meridian and the equator, and the y axis is perpendicular to the xOz plane (namely, the intersection point of the east 90 degrees and the equator) to form a right-hand coordinate system.

After the WGS84 coordinate system is obtained, it is mapped to the UTM coordinate system. UTM coordinates are planar rectangular coordinates, and such coordinate grid systems and projections upon which they are based have been widely used in topography as reference grids for satellite images and natural resource databases and other applications requiring accurate positioning. In the UTM system, the earth's surface area between 84 degrees north latitude and 80 degrees south latitude is divided into north-south longitudinal bands (projected bands) by 6 degrees longitude. These projections were numbered from 1 to 60 (Beijing at zone 50) starting from the 180 degree meridian and going east. Each band is subdivided into quadrilaterals with a weft differential of 8 degrees. The transverse rows of the quadrangle start from 80 degrees from the south latitude. Each quadrilateral is marked with a combination of numbers and letters in turn, marked with letters C through X (no I and O), the X-th row including the entire land area of the northern hemisphere from 72 degrees to 84 degrees north latitude, 12 degrees total. The reference grid reads right up. Each quadrilateral is divided into a plurality of cells with sides of 1000000 meters, and marked by an letter combination system. In each casting belt, a meridian line located at the center of the belt is given an abscissa value of 500000 meters. The coordinate value of the mark for the equator of the northern hemisphere is 0, and the coordinate value of the mark for the southern hemisphere is 10000000 meters, and the coordinate value of the mark decreases toward the south.
Let (x, y) be the transformed utm coordinates, φ: latitude lambda: longitude. First, a Zone of UTM projection is found:
Zone=(λ+180)/6+1
λ 0 =6.0*Zone-183.0
